The tv works okay, but beware you need to purchase an adapter to access the Internet apps. No one at Best Buy informed me of this. For the price of the tv, it should have been wifi enabled, NOT wifi ready....come on. Don't plan on streaming HD video content if you have regular DSL (3.0 Mbps). I was informed that you needed faster service. It's funny how you find these things out after the purchase.

Best Non 3D TV Out ThereI bought this TV at a Best Buy Store. When I glanced at this TV, the color, imaging and appearance was amazing. I was also looking at the 42" in this category and this 47" looked a lot better. I have owned and operated it since May 4, 2012. The set up is very easy and everything that's listed is inside the box. If you're looking for a top quality 47" TV set then the Panasonic TC-L47E50 is for you. Best Regards and Wishes!

Great TelevisionI recently bought this television and am really happy with it. The colours are fantastic. My only problem is the remote control feels a little flimsy.
